Love is so often overrated....

No day makes being alone feel worse...

Mommy, I know that Daddy misses you. Every once and a while, when he doesn't think I see, from across the room I'll see him smile sadly, and softly shake his head. He'll quickly wipe his cheek and give a quiet sigh....

Mommy, I remember the night you died, laying curled up in a ball on the floor besdie you're bed, crying for hours. And deep down I knew, no longer would I ever a child again...

Mommy, I tear up everytime I hear the star spangled banner, becasue when I close my eyes, I can still see you laying beside me in bed, your fingers playing with my curls, and it's you I hear singing... to me- my nightly lullaby.

Mommy, do you hear me when I cry out at night? Are you what calms me and helps me sleep those nights? Do you ever sit by my bedside and sing softly while I sleep?

Mommy, do you ever watch me from heaven? Are you proud of what you see? Do you ever stop and lose youreself in thought of me, as I so often do of you?

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

Sometimes you have to let go to see if there was anything worth holding on to.

“Falling in love with someone isn't always going to be easy. Anger... tears... laughter.. It's when you want to be together despite it all. That's when you truly love another.”
